Hope I’m proved well and truly wrong, but that looks like a poor side to me.

The attendance is really dwindling away.

Be interested to see how many’s here today, but looking quite low

Sutton already losing!

1-0 in chances already, just wide from a header, those crosses causing problems again!
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 10, 2024, 03:08:38 pm
That's better, a cross by Adelakun and a chance for Ironside
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: ChrisBx on February 10, 2024, 03:12:52 pm
FGR and Grimsby also losing. Good start to the afternoon.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere

Even better! Joe Ironside!
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere

1-0 Ironside

Cross in from the left, glancing header by Joe into the far corner

Yesssss
Great ball in from Adel for Ironside to nod home

Get in.  10 point gap.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere

All the other results going our way too, could have a 10 point buffer from relegation if results stay the same.

It’s great to watch Rovers moving forward with pace and purpose.  It’s what we’ve come to see and been missing.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: Barmby Rover on February 10, 2024, 03:33:07 pm
Another one coming?
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: dickos1 on February 10, 2024, 03:37:02 pm
One nil up and playing decent. Yet the crowd are moaning and whining all the time. Should be getting behind them.

Post by: steve@dcfd on February 10, 2024, 03:51:09 pm
Only Ironside scoring when we have Molyneux Waters and Adelakun they need to step up quickly. All have the experience of this league no excuses.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: Silkscarf on February 10, 2024, 03:51:28 pm
Well that was loads better. I like the formation. Everyone seems to know what they’re supposed to be doing and largely doing it.

Just need a bit more going forward.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: monkeytennis on February 10, 2024, 03:52:42 pm
Adelukan is having a great game. Sterry Wood and Olowu also feel more solid. I think it’s Woods calming influence.

Just hope we can get more or hold on.

Also heard no complaining although it is very quiet in here today
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: jmt23 on February 10, 2024, 03:52:52 pm
Good half and a good open game - I like the new spurs lad, he’s ok, good on the ball, likes a tackle and gets about, a good size/ build as well, he will definitely cut it at this level and possibly higher.

Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: RoversInSpain on February 10, 2024, 03:53:35 pm
Adelukan doing a good impression of Messi, played really well, and what a cross.
Not a fan of Olowu at all, but he’s won his battles in that 45, keep it going lad.
Good half.
Come on Rovers

It’s a pretty self explanatory statement.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere
Post by: Copps is Magic on February 10, 2024, 03:56:08 pm
The moan specifically came when that new lad from Tottenham was trying to make something happen and looking for a pass but other players (longer in this squad) were just standing around doing nothing. I think we've forgotten how to pass and move simply.

You can already tell this lad is an upgrade on Close. Hakeeb playing well also.
Title: Re: Rovers Vs Tranmere

No.25 for them is some player. Senior dealing with him well and having a great game.

I'm sat in the South Stand, a handful of fans have moaned slightly when the defence or keeper has held onto the ball inviting the press but otherwise people have been supportive and they received a good atmosphere at half time.

Watching on ifollow and Robbie said why are our fans moaning when we are winning.

So the subs 2 defenders 2 midfielders and 2 attackers

Left out of the squad

Saw a clip from a podcast with Ben Foster and Cleverley on and they described Henderson playing for Liverpool like that, making sure everyone knew their job, was in the right position and complimenting them, during the COVID season he was all they could hear... That was the job Wood was doing for us.
